I may be too late with this message but there might not be a need to
reformat the card. You see, unlike Windows, Linux has a trash bin not just
for the hard drive but it also makes trash bins on external storage. Look
for a hidden folder named .trash-1000 or something like that in the root of
your sdcard, and use the "permanently delete" (or something like that, I
don't know exactly what it's called) option on that folder. This should
return your storage space to the card.

Hope this helped,
